Childrens Ballroom Dancing Lessons

East London & Essex Longest Established Dance School.

Are You Looking For Childrens Ballroom Dancing Lessons?

Children are so quick to learn new skills, and what better than the skill of dancing? Some students we have taught over our nearly 50 years of teaching Ballroom Dancing in South Woodford at the John Hutson School of Dancing have said that the joy has stayed with them all their lives. We have taught parents, and their children and we have taught children that have grown up and brought their children to learn in later years.

We are so glad that you are interested in our children’s Ballroom Dancing lessons, as we know that kids get such a positive experience from dancing that will stay with them throughout their lives, as the experience of dance is so much more than just dancing itself.

During our children’s lessons that we run twice a week your children can learn such wonderful dances as:

WaltzFoxtrot Tango Quickstep

There is no doubt that through the introduction of BBC’s “Strictly Come Dancing”, and the children’s Disney film “Frozen” children have seen the beauty, glitz and glamour that surrounds Ballroom Dancing. As such, we have seen a fantastic resurgence in young people and parents looking to be introduced to the wonder and excitement of Ballroom Dancing Lessons in East London, which is of course fantastic for us but also wonderful for ballroom dancing as a whole.

We have found over the years through the 100s of children we have trained that children get such huge benefit from Ballroom Dancing Including:

Fitness Friendships Social Skills DisciplineConfidence

With dance your children don’t just learn a wonderful skill, make new friends, improve general confidence but it also helps with fitness. You could almost say that Ballroom Dancing could be your child’s developmental “five a day” for fun, social interaction, health and fitness, confidence and general wellbeing.

Julie managed to teach us our wedding dance in a fairly short space of time. It was exactly what we wanted and we managed to pull it off on the day. Many thanks for your patience Julie, much appreciated,

Ps. And it was fun!! Nick & Liz 11/20/2017

My husband and I have been going to John Hutson's dance school for many years. We started with the group classes and enjoyed it so much we decided to start taking private lessons. We are by no means of the imagination natural dancers, but our teacher, Julie, has somehow managed to make us look as though we know what we're doing and we even managed to pass an exam!
Julie, in particular, is a wonderful teacher, with an amazing amount of patience and dedication to her students and above all makes our lessons enormously enjoyable and great fun. I would have no hesitation in recommending the school to anyone who wants to learn to dance for purely social reasons or for those who want to be more serious and take exams. Gill 10/20/2017

Their teaching has given us a real love of ballroom and latin dancing. Absolutely love our lessons, wish we had started when we were younger. Pat & Bryan 09/22/2017

I have been dancing at J Hutson School for several years, as has my teenage son. My son does exams and competitions, I dance just for the pleasure of learning a skill. Group or private lessons; John and Julie provide you with the basics, adapting their style from meticulous foot and arm placement to just getting around the room depending on your motivation!

From non-dancers to bronze medallists in 3 years. We have had a fantastic time learning to dance. Julie, our teacher, has been wonderful and the lessons are such fun. She's not just our teacher, but has become a good friend and is so easy to get on with. We have private lessons and also join in the classes sometimes. We look forward to our lesson each week - it is one of our highlights. Hilary and Marc Pepperman 09/10/2017

I have been going to the John Hutson School of Dancing for two years. I dance with my female friend. It is possible to go as a couple, with a friend or alone. If the latter, you will be partnered with Julie or John. When we joined the group, neither of us had danced. Now we have a knowledge of about 16 dances and are fairly competent in half of those. It is great to be able to dance. It gives me such a feel-good feeling, and keeps me fit and healthy. I would recommend it to people of all ages. Once you get the bug, you won't stop!

Good School Pradeep 10/09/2017

John Hutson is quite wondeful as a teacher. I am a big person so was a little nervous about taking dance lessons, but he made me feel completely at ease, and my lessons is one of the highlights of my week. I really look forward to my lessons. I love his attention to detail and his ability to make the lesson fun. I would highly recommend John Hutson's school of dance. Deborah Aloba 08/12/2018
